Excellence Award in the 'Top Secret 2016' competition

War is camouflage like the soldiers uniform in battle

It tastes like dirt thrown in my mouth

It sounds like endless explosions

It looks like fallen soldiers lying dead

It smells like blood, sweat and tears

It feels like depressed family members crying

War spreads fear across the battlefield
